Resumen
Descripción
This report explores how fiscal policy can improve both fiscal and environmental balances. The first chapter reviews fiscal aggregates and trends, assessing the need for adjustment and recent fiscal rules. It identifies opportunities for savings and revenue beyond environmental considerations. The second chapter uses a general equilibrium model to evaluate climate transition policies put forward by the Government of Brazil, their effectiveness in reducing GHG emissions and their wider economic impacts. The third chapter focuses on expenditure and tax policies with environmental and climate implications in the areas of fossil fuel, agricultural policies and taxation of rural land. The fourth chapter examines intergovernmental fiscal transfers, especially the potential for a green component in federal-to-state transfers.
